10:00 AM-3:30 PM
You are invited to bring your curiosity, sense of play and creative spirit to a one-day exploration/celebration of music, art and oil pastel!

Oil pastel is a beautiful, vibrant, versatile medium that can be used in many different ways, allowing a wealth of mark-making possibilities. During the workshop, we will explore techniques for painting and drawing with oil pastel, and discover new avenues to bring oil pastels into our work. After lunch, we will delve into how music can awaken inspiration in our art practices, bringing unique ideas, inspiration and voice to our creative flow. Music and art have always been sisters, inspiring and challenging each other. Using oil pastels and some of the techniques we explore in the morning, we will create work in collaboration with several different genres and styles of music. It promises to be a fun, joyful day of art and music! I hope you can join us! All levels are welcome and encouraged; adults only please. The workshop will include a tour of Regina’s oil pastel paintings in the Marie Louise Trichet Art Gallery, on view from 11 June through 27 July.
